For Faculty

Student Required Lab Hours

In order to accrue required lab hours, Anatomy, Physiology, and Chemistry 10 students must present their SMC student identification card at the LRC checkout counter in room 245, upon arrival and departure. If the SMC card is not available, a valid picture ID and SMC student ID number is acceptable.

Students must remain in the LRC or Science Computer Lab to accrue time. Signing on at the LRC computers or checking out materials does not count as lab hours. Staff can tell you the number of hours accrued through the previous night.

LRC Materials and Conference Room

​A variety of materials can be checked out such as anatomy models, chemistry kits, DVD’s, VHS, teacher specific viewing materials, books, microscopes, planetary models, and calculators. The Center is equipped with DVD/video monitors and computers with interactive software. The LRC Conference Room may be reserved by faculty, tutors, and student study groups. Please be respectful of your fellow students, materials and study environment. We ask that cell phone calls, eating, a​nd drinks in open containers be enjoyed outside of the room.

LRC materials: LRC items may be checked out to currently enrolled students with a valid picture ID and student ID number. Items must remain in the room. Checking out materials does not count as lab hours.

Checkout limit is four items at a time, except during finals or mid-terms week when the maximum number of items may be reduced to allow a greater number of students access to the materials.

A full listing of items that can be checked out may be found in the Science LRC / checkout counter room 242
